What time do things kick off?

Gates open at 5pm and there's a no queuing prior to that rule in force. Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds  are the support act and will be onstage at 7pm with U2 expected onstage at 8.30pm.

What will security stop me bringing in? 

The advice is to give yourself plenty of time to clear security due to increased safety measures at the venue. 

Backpacks and large handbags are not allowed and there are no cloakroom facilities. Bags must be no bigger than A4 size and all will be searched.

Flares, glass, cans, alcohol, umbrellas, selfie sticks and garden furniture are not permitted and neither are professional camera or cameras with a detachable lens, video cameras, audio recording devices, iPads or GoPros.
